Smoked Salmon Pasta
Smoked salmon pasta sounds really fancy, but the truth is, it's the easiest and fastest pasta we've ever made.
Recipe type: Main
Ingredients
- 1 lb. spaghetti
- ½ red onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ c. white wine
- ¾ c. heavy cream
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- ½ lb. smoked salmon, cut into bite size pieces
- ¼ c. capers, drained
- 2 tbsp. freshly chopped dill, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup pasta water, and return to pot.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until soft, 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add wine and cook until almost completely reduced, 5 minutes. Add heavy cream and lemon juice and cook until thickened, another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add salmon, capers, and dill and cook until salmon is warmed through, 2 minutes, then toss sauce and pasta together. Add ¼ cup pasta water if sauce is too thick. Garnish with more dill to serve.
